The Week in Review is a weekend feature which casts a gaze over the week which has just been, hoping to point your eyes in the direction of news, features, videos and reviews worthy of your time.

The week has been packed with major gaming events, with only a royal's bare breasts able to steal away the headlines. I'm yet to see them, but a new console from Nintendo and the next iPhone has to be more exciting, right?

Failing that, perhaps this launch title montage will convince you a pre-order is a fantastic idea.

Wii U wasn't the only new toy dated this week, with Apple finally unveiling its somewhat underwhelming iPhone 5, which promises two times the graphics of the 4S. No doubt consumers will still bend over backwards to get the iPhone 5, but there doesn't seem to be quite the same level of hype around this launch as with previous Apple products.

'Konami believes this will be the year that PES is seen as a genuine contender'

Another game with huge pre-orders was Guild Wars 2, and this week NCsoft announced the game has now gone on to sell two million copies worldwide.

One place you certainly won't be buying your games anymore will be Gamestation, with GAME Retail confirming all 122 Gamestation stores are to be rebranded GAME in the next few months. GAME says the new stores will combine the best of both brands, with Gamestation's "We Won't Be Beaten On Trade-In" set to continue.

VideoGamer.com video making man Matt has also been hard at work this week, churning out lots of great video content for games including X-Com, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and FIFA 13. You'll find two of his best below.

Remember you also have this week's podcast to listen to – that's if you're not a super fan who has already let the sounds into your ears. It's episode 60 and Matt is hosting because Neon's away. Highlights include bees and rapping.
